Is Dustin Hoffman’s legacy dying?

Seems he isn’t mentioned amongst the greats as frequently as yesteryears.

No. He's in too many highly loved movies for that to happen.

We're all dying, honey.

As long as "The Graduate" endures, so will Dustin Hoffman.

Didn’t he get “canceled” for being a aexist pig?

Who?

Because I’m not one of your fans!

Mrs. OP, you’re trying to troll me.

Anna Graham Hunter alleged that, while she was 17 and working as an intern on a TV production of Death of a Salesman, Hoffman made inappropriate jokes and comments around her and asked her to give him foot massages.

Midnight Cowboy. That says it all.

I'm sure his legacy was tarnished a bit by various accusations of being a sexist pig and/or a handsy one.

But I think his legacy has faded a bit just due to the passage of time. He was in several truly loved and/or iconic movies, but the last one that really fits under that particular label - Rain Man - was 37 years ago.
